Library Advisory Board

The Library Advisory Board (LAB) acts as the planning body for library activities and special projects and makes recommendations to the administration and assembly. The board also reviews annual budgets and operations. It consists of nine members and is established under Chapter 4.60.40 of the Municipal Code. The Library Director serves as the Executive Secretary.
